Samson Siasia Stadium will be ready soon - Bayelsa Govt.

The Bayelsa State Government has said the renovation of the Samson Siasia Stadium in Yenagoa will soon be completed and ready for sporting activities. A Government House statement on Friday quoted the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Jonathan Obuebite, as giving the assurance at the end of a football match between the Creek Haven All Stars and KOLGA All Stars.

Obuebite said very soon the stadium would come alive, hosting top leagues matches. He also noted that sports-loving Bayelsans would once again have a taste of first-class football games.

He commended the state governor, Seriake Dickson, for approving and directing the release of funds to the contractor to return to site and carry out the renovation of the stadium.
